Hi All, Had some time this week and I have not made any Punch Knives in a while so here is an assortment of new Punch/Push Knives. All are made from 1/8 inch 154-CM all hardened to a Rockwell 60, all come with Kydex belt sheaths. These usually don’t last long so if you want it leave a note in the thread and contact me ASAP. Any way they are numbered on the first image so reference the image and the price if you want any leave a note on the thread and get in touch with me so I don’t get duplicate requests that I can’t fill. I have been having some problems with USPS first class shipping so from now on all knives go out USPS Priority mail with tracking. All knife prices are plus $7.50 for shipping if you purchase 1 or 7 in the same box it the same $7.50. Paypal is preferred so PM me for Paypal payment info. A word about my sheaths. All sheaths are meant to be worn between the belt and the pants this is done for two reasons. One it keeps the sheath where you want it, it won’t migrate around. Two in the case of the Punchulu sheaths it is the pressure of the belt on your body that keeps the knife tight in the sheath. Makes it very easy to pull and very secure as well. Enjoy. Thanks, Ken #1 $55.00 plus $7.50 for shipping Ivory Micarta scales overall 3.5 inches long cutting edge is 1.75 inches SOLD #2 $65.00 plus $7.50 for shipping choice Bacote scales overall 3.5 inches long cutting edge is 1.75 inches 3# $45.00 plus $7.50 for shipping Wenge scales overall 3 3/8 inches long cutting edge is 1.75 inches 4# $45.00 plus $7.50 for shipping Black Ebony scales overall 3 3/8 inches long cutting edge is 1.75 inches #5 $55.00 plus $7.50 for shipping Green and Black Micarta scales overall 4 5/8 inches long cutting edge is 2.5 inches long #6 $50.00 plus $7.50 for shipping Black Kydex scales overall 3.25 inches long cutting edge is 1.5 inches long or about 3 inches around the circumference of the cutting edge #7 $50.00 plus $7.50 for shipping Black Kydex scales overall 3.25 inches long cutting edge is 1.5 inches long or about 3 inches around the circumference of the cutting edge Thanks for looking and don’t forget to PM me if you want one.

Hi All, Here we have to of my Punchullu’s with pistol grips and glass breaker/skull crusher end. Made from Aldo’s 3/16th 1095 and hardened and tempered to a Rockwell 59-60. Both the blades as well as the chiseled ends are extremely sharp. The scales on both are rosewood the darker is Honduran the lighter is Tiete. The pins are 3/16 brass. The forth picture down comes closest to showing the color of the woods and even that does not do it justice. Both are extremely comfortable and solid in the hand they just plain feel good to hold. The ergonomics worked out very well. Both can be held point up or point down and the sheaths will accommodate this. The lighter of the two (Tiete) is 4.5 inches long from chisel tip to top end and meant to be held with one finger on top or 2 fingers if held point up. The darker of the two is a little longer at 5 inches and meant to be held with two fingers on top. The pictures do better than I can at explaining how to hold them. Both come with Kydex belt sheaths. Price with sheath and shipping to the lower 48 is $85 each or both for $160. Paypal works best. Thanks for looking, Ken

Hi All, Tried something different this week, a Kriss, pushing my own envelope again, Hope you like this one as much as I do. I really don’t know how many more of these I am going to make. It was a bitch to make this. This one comes without a sheath it needs leather and I only work in Kydex. If I molded Kydex to fit this you would never be able to pull it out. Here are the specifics: Steel: Aldo’s 3/16ths 1095 (actually it’s a little thicker) Rockwell hardness: 58-59 Overall length: 6 inches Height: At the handle about 2 inches the wave at the widest is about 1.5 inches Length of blade: From the tip to the scales 5 inches Scales: Black Walnut fastened with two 1/8 inch brass pins Finish: Mirror Price: $85.00 shipped to the lower 48 and worth every penny. Like I said it’s a bitch to make this. I don’t believe I have ever seen another one like it. Comments as always are welcome. Thanks for looking, Ken
